Chapter 774 The Greatness of the Tanuki
Yes, Xu Ning admitted that he had indeed considered using Wendy, that cowardly god, as a shield.
After all, a demon god might be killed by the Great Slash Blade, two demon gods might only be half-dead, and with himself and Sora, they might only be seriously injured.
That Vilette can't be included; that guy might even sabotage me behind my back because he's after the power over the ancient dragons.
However, after glancing into the Dust Concealment Gourd, he remembered that Qingyi and Wendy had already gone to sit in the VIP seats and were eating melon seeds. But even if they were there, he probably wouldn't be able to grab Wendy's face to stop the Greatsword, or put him on the tip of the blade beforehand.
Aji returned to the cave early, but it wasn't a good time to take him out for a photo.
Fukaros had already closed her eyes slightly, spinning gently on the stage, as if easing the heavy burden that had been dormant for five hundred years, and enjoying this only moment of unrestrained freedom after inheriting the divine position.
Above her head, the massive cleaver seemed to resonate with her, its spinning speed increasing once more.
Seeing the kinetic energy accumulating at the tail of the cleaver growing stronger, Xu Ning knew he couldn't wait any longer. With a thought, his three elemental clones—wind, lightning, and rock—from the Dust Concealment Gourd appeared around him.
The wind-attribute clone is always the fastest, instantly rising from the ground and appearing at the hilt of the sword. A whirlwind instantly forms, circling in the opposite direction to the blade, rapidly dissipating the sword's power.
Meanwhile, the rock-elemental clones continuously conjured rock spears, relentlessly piercing the massive blade.
But after five hundred years of refinement, how could that blade still be as soft and weak as water?
Countless rock spears shattered upon impact with the blade, yet not a single scratch appeared on it.
Despite being mentally prepared, Xu Ning's face still darkened. He took a deep breath and absorbed his lightning elemental clone into his body, instantly creating a ring of lightning around his back.
Xu Ning lifted the gourd and took a long, deep gulp of wine, then hung the Dust Concealment Gourd back on his waist and slowly turned his hands upside down.
A burst of golden and purple lightning flashed on each of their palms.
"Is this lightning of the 'Wildness' and 'Desolation' attributes? How could he possibly possess the power of lightning of both attributes at the same time?"
Navelette was surprised that Xu Ning possessed elemental power with both the Wild and Desolate attributes simultaneously. This was the first time such a thing had happened in Fengdan. Almost all Fengdan people who possessed these attributes only had elemental power with one of the attributes.
Xu Ning had no time to care what others thought at the moment. He had already mobilized his elemental power to the fullest extent and brought his palms closer to his body.
A tremendous thunderclap resounded throughout the entire stage in an instant, and even the spatial barrier released by Fucaros seemed unable to completely conceal the thunder.
As the two types of lightning approached, the lightning power on Xu Ning's body began to overflow, and the lightning ring on his back throbbed violently as if it were on fire. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that there were clearly streams of molten lightning churning within it.
Just as Xu Ning's hands were about to touch, he thrust them forward, and a thick bolt of lightning shot from between his palms straight up to the slashing blade, creating ripples on its surface.
Kong seemed surprised that Brother Xu already possessed such power. After a moment of stunned silence, he silently gathered his elemental power of various attributes and joined Xu Ning's elemental torrent.
Fukalos was deeply moved that the two of them would go to such lengths for her, but she knew in her heart that she had prepared a punishment for five hundred years and no one could stop her.
Just as he was about to say a few words to Xu Ning and Kong, a familiar water elemental force was suddenly released, its target also being the blade.
Fukalos turned around in a daze, only to see the Codex in front of Vilette open, from which streams of water converged into a straight, thick line of water that shot towards the slashing blade in mid-air.
This move clearly caught Xu Ning off guard.
"Hey, that's strange. Our Water Dragon King doesn't even want the power of the ancient dragons anymore?"
Navelette continued working, saying in a deep voice, "I want it, but not through this method. I can judge the gods and the laws behind them, settle accounts with them for past debts, and personally reclaim the ancient dragon power they stole. But I cannot stand idly by and watch the water god who once did me a favor die before my eyes."
For a moment, Fukalos was at a loss for words about what to say about the three people in front of him.
Just like what they've been doing in Fontainebleau recently, they clearly see the unshakeable trajectory of fate, yet they insist on trying to reverse the course of fate in their own way, creating miracles that are simply impossible.
"The execution time is approaching, the final curtain call is finally here. Although at this point, some fear is still unavoidable, seeing you all..."
A glint appeared in the corner of Fukaros's eye as she bowed in a standard curtain call.
Goodbye, everyone.
The moment Fukaros bowed, the rapidly spinning blade suddenly stopped, defying all logic, and then plummeted downwards.
This sudden turn of events caused everyone's elemental power to almost instantly vanish into thin air, making it clear that Fukaros's demise was inevitable.
The force of the falling giant blade was so great that almost all the elemental power released by everyone was forced back, making it impossible for them to get even a little close to Fukaros, let alone enter the core of the blade to rescue her.
Is there really no other way?
If I could pull her away, or drag her into the Hidden Dust Cave to escape this attack...
Xu Ning had considered many possibilities, but none of them could be realized at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as the huge blade slowly approached Fukaros's body, and she was like a porcelain doll about to shatter, a sight that evoked both heartache and despair.
But at that very moment, a small figure suddenly flew out of the Dust Concealment Gourd.
Almost as soon as it landed, the figure raised a small fist and stretched it out in the direction of Fucaros.
Then, in everyone's eyes, the enormous slashing sword carrying immense power suddenly froze in an instant.
Do not!
Not only that slashing sword, but almost everyone, including Fukaros, froze in their actions and even their thoughts, as if the entire spacetime had been frozen in place by that small fist.
The small figure turned around; it was Aji, the little raccoon cat, who had just gone inside to organize the photos.
Aji withdrew his fist, seemingly surprised that he had also trapped Xu Ning in this space-time. He circled around Xu Ning, scratched his head, and then remembered to put his fist in Xu Ning's hand.
A strange power surged through him, and Xu Ning suddenly snapped out of his daze.
“Aji! How...how did you do that? It's like...like you stopped time.”
